mp--nazareth

Man from Nazareth

Searching mighty visages
for glimmers of divine creation
Reach with tentative Ambition
To shaft of smooth angelic light
in warmth and consolation
Lofty flight of history revealed

Inured to pain
by pain endured
Grope for lofty pinnacles
of truth, in love's brief fury

crying I find
what time denies
the Golden Dream for which I died
becomes a tarnished ring of lies.
